This is just a personal opinion ...... I don't think you will really notice any benefit on the 135 amp welders. But, on the 210-250 amp and up units, I thinkyou will find a noticeable and worth while difference.
You're going to be adjusting from 10 or 20 to 135 amps, versus 20 to 250 amp on the larger ones. That means a larger range of adjustment from the big machines compared to the smaller ones. Unless you are welding VERY thin sheetmetal, save your money. On my Hobart 135, I only ever use #2 or #3. I used to weld some 1/4" stuff with it and would turn it up to #4, but only use it for thin sheet metal on occasion since I have the Miller 210 and a Miller TIG welder now.
